Our Philosophy.

The Irish Wildlife Trust believes that every child should have the opportunity to experience the natural wonders of Ireland, through a hands-on approach, therefore giving them an unforgettable experience and sense of being part of the world around us.

The Irish Wildlife Trust wishes to improve peoples involvement, by bringing learning to life through providing a range of opportunities in a formal and informal structured manner in order to foster appreciation, understanding and hopefully care for the natural environment.

The Irish Wildlife Trust believes that through our Environmental and Conservation Education Programme, wildlife will hopefully benefit through better informed and caring individuals.

The following programmes as outlined below will deliver the Irish Wildlife Trust commitments to Environmental Education:
